"KARMA" is a gripping thriller that stands out as one of the best Odia films in recent years. The story keeps you engaged with suspense and unexpected twists, though it feels a bit lengthy at times. The character William D'Souza is the highlight of the movie, with his powerful performance (special in interval) leaving a lasting impression. The background music is exceptional, enhancing the tension and adding depth to key moments. Despite its length, "Karma" delivers a thrilling experience, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre. This film is a significant step forward for the Odia industry. In the last this the fresh content.
Coming from the makers of Gangs of Puri and Pratikhya, Karma is a brilliantly directed new age suspense thriller which has managed very well to captivate the audience and ensure everyone is glued to their seats till the end and still thinking about the twists even after the movie ends. All the characters have been beautifully placed in the amazing story. It's beautifully shot with the director having managed to extract the best out of each actor esp. Anubhav Mohanty.
Technically pretty sound be it BGM, colour grading, cinematography, scene selection, set designs, scene sequencing, etc. They too have put in massive efforts into the publicity and marketing of Karma which has reached the masses.
Director Anupam Patnaik largely has managed to justify the overacting of Anubhav (as many might feel) to the films strength through the character played by him. Very clever of him. All actors have acted well basis their respective characters and have managed to leave a lasting impression. The casting has been awesomely done.
As many might think of a specific character as the main antagonist, however the fantastic story of Karma sends the message loud and clear that each of them is in some way or the other the antagonist due to their deeds. Songs are great and are timed well as per the storyline. There is also a post credit scene which is a first for Odia cinema and a hint for a sequel.
Yes, there are many areas of improvement, and the Director surely knows all of them. But given the limitations of the Odia film industry, budgetary constraints, lack of high-end technical processes, tight timelines, etc, Karma has been made well. I am sure he shall review each of the areas of improvement when he goes back to the drawing board for the sequel and discusses each of those with his team. Hope he reviews and aims at providing answers to all questions which the audience shall have after watching Karma in the forthcoming sequel.
Anupam Patnaik is the best amongst the new age directors who has the capability to make amazing creative content which delivers well commercially as well. He has got the formula which is the need of the hour for revival of the struggling Odia Film Industry. He has managed to convert many movie buffs like me to come back to theatres to watch quality Odia films. Looking forward to the sequel.

Just watched Karma movie!! Literally one if the Bloodiest movie in odia, I went to threater with low expectations because of now a days odia cinema is producing more flop movies,but this Karma went beyond my expectations, every frame is very important to this movie (very fast screen play) coming to performances the superstar anubhav mohanty rocked in Amar Pattnaik and rest of the cast did well and justified in their roles, music could have been better, DOP work is quite thrilling, coming to writer director Anupam patnaik he succeed in giving a direction can't wait for second part no piracy pls.
Just watched Karma-the first half had me completely hooked with its engaging setup, but the second half? Absolutely mind-blowing! The intensity skyrockets with every twist and turn, keeping you on the edge of your seat till the very end. And that background music? It's next level, elevating every scene and adding a whole new depth to the thrilling atmosphere. Plus, don't miss the post-credit scene! It's worth the wait and adds an extra layer to the story. Stay till the end for the full experience! Trust me, this is one of those films that deserves to be watched in a good theater. The visuals and sound design are best enjoyed on the big screen for maximum impact. Don't miss out on this incredible cinematic experience!
